Re: [Vista] Vista Media Center - Change TV Default Save Location

Hi,

I tried editing the registry as outlined in that link. Tried both the string \\netcenter\recorded tv and z:\recorded tv. Rebooted on each change and saw NO changes in the Media Center record options even though the changes were saved to the registry. It still went to c:\users\public....as the only option on both changes!

Just for clarification purposes I'm trying to record to an NAS device rather than a server.

Still open for suggestions,

Al

From everything I have read, MCE is hardcoded to not record to NAS or any sort of Network drive. Most likely a design feature.

I do not think it is possible to have MCE record directly to any non-local storage. However you should be able to copy after-the-fact.

Jahntassa,

I believe that you may be right about the hardcoding. However the cut and past operation is too much hassle for my girlfriend.

It might be time for a batch file to run at startup to cut and move the files automatically and then have Media Center watch the move-to folder....

Maybe someone could post an example of such a batch file as I am unfamiliar with the syntax needed?

What does the batch file need to do?
